Why Legalize a Packing List?

The packing List provides a detailed account of the goods being shipped, quantities descriptions, weights, and dimensions. It is a mandatory document for UAE customs authorities and must be legalized along with other trade documents like the Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin.

Legalizing your Packing List:

  • Ensures compliance with UAE customs regulations.

  • Facilitates faster clearance at UAE ports.

  • Helps avoid penalties, fines, or shipment delays.

  • Serves as an essential document for logistics tracking and inventory control.

Without proper legalization, your shipment may be held or rejected, resulting in significant time and financial losses.
